We have a 1985 Baja 250 with a 5.7l 260 h.p. engine that has stripped the coupler when he ran ashore. I do not know what to charge for labor and since this is an insurance job, the adjuster will want prices and I do not want to cut myself short nor do I want to come in to high. Thanks for your time.

Re: Labor time

Ayuh,... It's All about how much of the Boat has to be removed, just to get To the motor....
That's why there's no labor manuals for Boats,... They're All Different....

I can have a motor settin' on the floor in a half hour,... My boat, My shop...

Re: Labor time

I don't mean any disrespect here...

But if you need to ask on an internet forum for labor times on this job. This tells me you have never done this type of job before. If you've never done this type of job before + can not estimate your own time based on your tools, equipment and ability. Then your probably not qualified to do the work in the first place.

I know the money looks peachy to you, but your probably better off passing on it because it's only going to come back and bite you in the *** latter.
